Lover

Valentine Bodice

What started as a small Bondi Market stall on the weekend has turned into an influential and international fashion force. Officially launched in 2001 by creative couple Susien Chong and Nic Briand, Lover is a cool mix of romance, vintage elegance, and rocker influence. Inspiration is drawn from pop culture, music, film, and art, which translates into pieces that balance heavy edge with soft fabrics, feminine details, and loads of drama. Fans include Alexa Chung, Kirsten Dunst, Michelle Williams, and Keira Knightley.
